Word Predictability as a Measure of Second Language Proficiency

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces predictabilityBERT, a novel metric for assessing second language (L2) proficiency based on the predictability of word choices in learner language production. Using BERT (Devlin et al., 2019), we calculated the conditional probability of each word in a text given its surrounding context.

Serial‐Mediation Study of STEM Outreach Workshops, Cognitive Variables, Identity and Grade‐12 Students' Career Aspirations

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the direct and indirect effects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outreach workshops on Grade 12 students' STEM career‐choice goals. Using a hybrid conceptual framework that combines social cognitive career theory and science identity theory and employing serial mediation analysis, the study ...

Infinite Ends From Finite Samples: Open‐Ended Goal Inference as Top‐Down Bayesian Filtering of Bottom‐Up Proposals

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The space of human goals is tremendously vast; and yet, from just a few moments of watching a scene or reading a story, we seem to spontaneously infer a range of plausible motivations for the people and characters involved. What explains this remarkable capacity for intuiting other agents' goals, despite the infinitude of ends they might ...

Is the World Getting Smaller? Network‐Driven Heterogeneity in Gravity‐Model Elasticities

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gravity models constitute the workhorse of empirical international trade research, yet the temporal stability of their core parameters—distance and GDP elasticities—remains underexplored, particularly in relation to the evolving structure of trade networks.

Surface Ligand Engineering in Quantum Dot Photocatalysis: Mechanisms, Design Principles, and Applications

Advanced Chemical Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2026.
Surface ligands govern quantum dot photocatalysis through thermodynamic band‐edge tuning, kinetic charge‐transfer regulation, and microenvironmental control. Rational ligand engineering, using short‐chain, inorganic, conjugated, or dual‐ligand systems, enables efficient solar fuel production, selective organic transformations, environmental remediation,

Stochastic Galerkin and Monte Carlo Methods for Parabolic Problems: Numerical Performance of Variational Matrix‐Free Approximations

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Stochastic Galerkin methods offer unexplored potential for the numerical simulation of parabolic problems with random variables, in particular if they are combined with variational discretizations of the space and time variables. Due to the high dimensionality, the solution of the arising algebraic systems do not become feasible without ...

Nonparametric Conditional Copula Density Estimation With Applications to the Body Mass Index

Stat, Volume 15, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a nonparametric conditional copula density estimator that features a parametric carrier copula refined by an exponential series adjustment. We adopt the local likelihood approach for conditional distribution estimation and incorporate the influence of covariates via kernel smoothing.

CyberShake NZ: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis in New Zealand Using Physics‐Based Ground‐Motion Simulations

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
This study presents the computational components and workflow developed to conduct probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in New Zealand (NZ) using physics‐based ground‐motion simulations, referred to as “CyberShake NZ.” Semi‐automated procedures generate multiple realizations of kinematic rupture models, create rupture‐specific velocity models ...
